October A, 1954 THE FULL MOONf Page 3 WHO'S WHO BEEKER'S BILLBOARD Albemarle High has long been noted as a place of character de velopment, and believe you me, there are some real characters around this place. Jokes are the order of the day every day, and if you listen hard enough you will probably hear some of these: “I told my wife I would shoot any man who had flirted with her at the seaside.” “What did she say?” “She told me to bring a ma chine gun.” They were rather late in start ing for the station, and his wife said, “You run ahead, dear, and hold the train.” “Yeah!” he answered sarcastic ally. “And what particular hold would you like me to use, the head- lock, scissors or half-nelson?” Baby Stork: “Mama, where did I come from?” Teacher: “What was George Washington noted for?” Johnny: “His memory.” Teacher: “What makes you think his memory was so great? Johnny: “They erected a monu ment to it.” If the Tsar used to rule Russia, and his wife was called the Tsar ina, would the children be called Tsardines? Conscience: The voice that tells you not to do something after you have already done it. . Bigamist: One who makes the same mistake twice. Honesty: Fear of being caught. Nudist: A person who goes coat- less and vestless, and wears trous ers to match. Almo Cleaners "Cleaner Cleaning” Cash and Carry ... Call and Delivery Students Honored By Local Clubs Bobby Peck and John David Moose, seniors of Albemarle High School, have served as Student Lion and Student Rotarian for the month of September. Bpbby is active in many of the school’s activities, being in the National Honor Society, the edi tor of the Crossroads, and co-cap- tain of the football team. He is also Vice President of the North Carolina Student Council Con gress. Aside from being president of the senior class, John David is co-captain of the football team and a member of the Mixed Chorus. Future Teachers Choose Leaders The Future Teachers of Amer ica, under the direction of Miss Doris Tucker, met September 21 to elect officers and make plans for the coming year. The officers elected were as fol lows: president. Bill Beeker; vice president, Amorelle Tucker; sec retary, Iris Hunsucker; treasurer, Mary Jane Kirkpatrick; historian, Elaine Mills, and librarian, Max ine Harwood. The club made plans to meet at school on the third Tuesday of every month, and to have a social meeting on the first Tuesday night of every month. A few plans were discussed con cerning projects and trips for the year. Anna Maria Story was married to Robert Short. A very pleasant way of making a story short. That should be enough for me to get chased out of • high school with, so goo’ bye now. —Bill Beeker. BELK'S Dept. Store "The Home of \ Better Values" FRANCES LITAKER She’s tops—she’s intelligent, de pendable, witty, the possessor of a winning personality, and a pleas ant smile. Yes, you’re right, that’s Frances Litaker, this month’s Who’s Who. Frances, a short, dark-haired, brown-eyed lass, known to many as “Peanut”, got an early start in her high school career by being elected secretary of the student body for her sophomore year. As a junior she was tapped into the National Honor Society, of which she is vice president, and this year she’s editor of the Full Moon. Although Frances has no hobby, she enjoys reading or listening to music. She can portray any ado lescent character with great skill. Remember the junior play? School work doesn’t fill all her time, because she has found time to serve as president of the Inter state Tri-Hi-Y and statistical sec retary for the Luther League. If her slightest wish could be filled, she would call for a table set with a thick T-bone steak and a mound of French fries, and a tall, handsome boy as her escort. Such all-around versatility as Frances possesses will certainly be an asset to the college of her choice, Lenoir Rhyne.

Charles, who has been a leader throughout his high school career, is now president of the student body. The varsity football team, of which he has been a member for three years, would find it hard to do without Charles at the cen ter position. He is a member of the monogram, boosters, and Hi- Y clubs, on the business staff of the annual, and on the sports staff of the Full Moon. Any girl with black hair, blue eyes, cute figure, and friendly dis position would find Charles very co-operative. Give him a steak dinner with all the works and a John Wayne movie and you’ll have yourself an extremely happy boy. Wake Forest may be the lucky college that gets Charles next year, although he hasn’t fully de cided whore he’ll attend or what he will major in. Whatever his choice, it is assured that he will be an outstanding success. School Faculty Honored At Tea Members of the city school faculty were honored by a tea given at the first meeting of the Woman’s Club last Thursday at the Y.M.C.A. Rev. J.
